“Karine and her husband took amazing good care of our dog! Our dog adored them and felt right at home. Karine would send me daily updates and pictures. Highly recommend! Thanks so much Karine!”
“I have a bit of a nervous dog that immediately connected with her and didn’t seem in the hurry to leave I expected when I picked her up…that says a lot! She was also very thorough in making sure she could meet Daisy’s needs”
“I had a wonderful experience with Rebecca as my dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and took excellent care of my dog. Her attentiveness and dedication gave me peace of mind, knowing my pet was in great hands. I highly recommend Rebecca for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since having our first family dog when I was little. I trained our family dog to not only have discipline, but also do tricks! I recently trained my friend’s dog to do some fun tricks too. I love to give the pups all the attention and patience they deserve. I shared a cat all through college with my roommate and am familiar with cats needs. I currently have Friday-Sunday off so I’d love to board or do walks on the weekend. I’m also available in the mornings and evenings if walks are needed then. I live close to lots of walking paths and dog parks. It’s a great area to go on long walks or to the dog parks!
“Melissa is a thoughtful and caring dog-sitter. She told me she loves dogs and it show in all her actions when she dog sat my labradoodle. She read him very well and met his emotional needs.”
“Yenis was wonderful! She took great care of our pup and it was clear that he had a nice time with her and her dog. We would absolutely use her again!”
“Rosa was amazing! I was able to get pics and videos throughout my puppies stay. I will definitely rebook for the amazing service she provided!”
“Frank did an exceptional job taking care of our puppy. On the way home, she shared how attentive (her words!!!) and caring he is. He even has a magical way of creating an open parking space right when it's time to drop her off. Highly recommend Frank for taking care of your fur baby : )”
“Juan is a lovely person and clearly cares about and loves all animals. He was great with my dog, who has some accidents and is shy/timid. She came clean, brushed, healthy, and full of smiles. I will be using Juan again!”
“Great communication and took very good care of my dog Percy. Treated him well and took him to the dog park even in the cold January weather. Would definitely recommend if you are in the Stamford area.”
“Elvia is the best! Our dachshund loves her and so do we. Super reliable and takes such good care of our pup. We’ve used Elvia for both daytime and overnights and would highly recommend!”

“Tina & Jon again a nourishing environment for our puppy with their own fur babies. Great fun for all. Highly recommend!”
“Juan took great care of my puppy! I was very nervous to leave her for the first time for the weekend, but she did great. Juan provided updates and my puppy seemed to be happy and tired when I picked her up! I think she loved being with Juan’s dog, and the large back yard to play. I highly recommend Juan.”

Thank you, Nicole, for your outstanding care!”
“Margaret was wonderful! From the moment I reached out she was on top of her communications and was very helpful with making us feel at ease with boarding our puppy. She provided a checklist for his stay which was extremely helpful and she answered all the quesitons we had in a timely manner. While our puppy was at her house, she checked in daily and sent photos which we greatly appreciated. Margaret also went the extra mile and made recommendations for useful training tips and tools for our puppy. We will be boarding our puppy again with her in a few weeks!”
